I have Cerberus FTP Server installed on my Windows XP Home edition. I already have user accounts and passwords set up.

I can connect to my ftp server from other computers on my network by just typing in the address ftp://192.168.0.3 in IE.

But if I want to connect to it from a computer on the internet outside my network, what do I have to enter exactly in the address bar? For example, if I want to connect to a user account "MyStuff". I am using SBC Yahoo DSL if that will help answer the question.

Nevermind. I've figured it out. I was supposed to enter ftp://username@wanIP/
